Expansion of the Special Services Committee
Not seven, but eight members. During its session, the Sejm will address a draft resolution submitted by the Sejm Presidium concerning the increase in the number of members of the parliamentary Committee for Special Services from seven to eight.
Currently, the committee includes representatives from KO, PiS, PSL-TD, Centrum, Lewica, and Konfederacja. The Sejm Presidium presented the draft resolution, which MPs will address at the very beginning of the session.
Current Composition and Regulations
According to the Sejm Regulations, changing the number of members of the special committee is possible upon the motion of the Sejm Presidium, by means of a resolution.
Currently, the committee includes chairman Marek Biernacki (PSL-TD), two deputy chairmen Zbigniew Hoffmann (PiS) and Mirosław Suchoń (Centrum), alongside other members.
Scope of Duties and Polish Special Services
What does the Committee for Special Services deal with? Committee meetings are, as a rule, classified, and its scope of activity includes various oversight tasks.
There are five main special services operating in Poland, divided into civil services—the Internal Security Agency, the Foreign Intelligence Agency, and the Central Anticorruption Bureau—and military services—the Military Counterintelligence Service and the Military Intelligence Service.
